Aside from this year the mwc is usually among the top conferences. There are plenty of great coaches who are at and have stayed at non bcs schools. Lets place blame where it should be. On the administration
 
Not really. Ever since the Power conferences were formed we have been on a steady downhill climb. We already lost 3 coaches who ended up taking power jobs.

You can't pretend it isn't there.
 
We didnt lose coaches because of conference we lost kruger because we wouldnt pay him, and our stupid fans thought he had"peaked" and that "we could do better" and because our inept administration

Beard left because thats his home school and because our inept administration

I wasn't counting Kruger. I was counting Underwood, Dixon, and Beard.

It matter and it matters a lot.
 
Plus im not sure how seriously we looked at underwood or dixon. Dont know if you could say we lost them. Once again theres plenty of solid coaches at non bcs schools.
 
Again i dont see how the conference factors in. If you pay they will stay.
Conference = money and prestige. UNLV has no money which has been a problem for a LONG time.

Conference certainly does matter in the grand scheme. With these latest misses, it was more specific school based... But a lot of BAD luck led to UNLV missing on some guys.... Perfect openings at the right times screwed UNLV in at least two hires... TCU, couldn't match them with money. Not close.

No B12 opening, I feel Underwood was here. Terms, in general, agreed to. They weren't at point A with Underwood. But OSU quickly and completely undone any progress.

Dixon wasn't stolen, really. UNLV couldn't afford the hefty buyout. TCU could. Had UNLV been able to pay the buyout, he'd be here, IMO, because he lost more quickly than Underwood.
 
Remember TCU? Remember it was just a few years back when we were stomping them? Remember when they bounced to go to the Big 12, and now they got Jaime Dixon and still have a fantastic football program. Remember that?
 
"If you pay they will stay."

Of course it does, you said it too. With that said there in-lies the problem, P5 = $$$ and TV contracts.
 
But as for the last couple days, I think most haven't even thought of the MWC, most know UNLV did it to themselves this time.
